Creating a security group

Each security group is made up of one or more security marks.

These marks can then be assigned to users and content to control which users can see
which content.

For example, the predefined security group is Classification and contains the
marks Top Secret, Secret, and Confidential. Only users assigned to the Top Secret mark can see
files that have been marked as Top Secret. This works in the same way for any additional
security groups that you set up.

You can set up additional security groups to match your
company requirements, for example, security groups for nationality and job role.

Click Admin Tools and then click Security Controls >
Configure.

Click Create Security Group.

Enter a name for the security group.

Select a Group Type for how security clearance will be applied for this group:

All = Users must have all security marks from the group that are
applied to a file to see that file.

Example: A Security Group named Training contains
security marks of Media and Data Handling. To see a file marked as both Media or Data
Handling, then a user must have both Media and Data Handling clearance.

Any = Users must have at least one of the security marks from the
group that are applied to a file to see that file.

Example: A Security Group named
Nationality contains security marks of UK, US, and Aus. To see a file classified as UK and
US, then a user must have UK and / or US clearance.

Hierarchical = Security marks are ranked in the order they're
created. The mark created first in a security group has the greatest clearance, the one
created last the least clearance.

Example: The predefined Classification group has marks
of Top Secret, Secret, and Classified. To see a file classified as Secret, then the user
must have Secret or Top Secret clearance.
